Default what you guys think about these wheels

Thinking about these or the TSW Sakata 4, I like the Estorils but I dont think they would look good on white.

I like the depth of the spokes revealing a wide polished surface on the outer side.

Nice wheels but looks like they would be a pain to keep clean. Obviously, I like the deep dish.

I like them too. Similar to the SRT wheel, but nicer because of the deep dish,

they don't look as hard to clean as the srt rims. The raised section between the spokes on srt rims make them hard to clean.

Those are hot, as long as you can get the right width and offset...

That is a nice looking wheel. It is essentially identical to my Mandrus Millenium wheels. Very similar in design, but then the Mandrus line is owned by TSW, so that should explain why they look alike.

I'm just wondering if i'll be able to use the stock tires on these, because I just got brand new Toyo's on my car now at no cost as part of my deal.

yeah i did not see a 18x8.5, so 18x8 in front would not fit the stock tire?

I think the stock tire will fit ok. Check at a tire shop to be sure.

I like those too. What I find funny is I have the regular XF rims on my car with winter tires on them and people tell me they like them better than the srt rims

yeah its gonna be a tough decision, I just need to see these in person or on some cars. The good thing is that the distributor is not too far from where I live so hopefully I can see these up close.

Those were my choice too. I prefer the Sakata 5's. A little busier, but I don't mind cleaning them.
I'll get mine in a tire/wheel package with 18's all around and larger rears to keep the rake.

I suggest getting Rotex Gold or Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads to lessen your pain/time in cleaning them.

Nice choice and it just proves the adage:
